Breezes Bahamas, New Providence Island traveler review
It was dirty, dirty, dirty! Visited: May 2008 |

Don't stay here. This was the filthiest hotel I've ever stepped foot in. It should be shut down - and no, I'm not exaggerating.
If you're looking to vacation in a frat house - empty beer cups everywhere, dirty beds, filthy bathrooms, poor service, and drunks at every turn - this is the place for you.
However, if you, like me, expect a hotel to change the sheets between guests, look somewhere else. Bed mites - need I say more? |

Never order takeout here. Visited: November 1999 |

When we were in the restaurant, the food was delicious.
However, when we got take out, it was disgusting!
Also, the hotel looks better in pictures. It doesn't look that nice in person.

We had a wonderful time here.
The room was comfortable, and the staff was amazingly helpful and friendly - especially with the kids. Also, the beach was gorgeous, and the pool was great.
The restaurants were expensive, but they usually are at this class of hotel.
We visited the Atlanits, and I think I would stay at the Sheraton any day over the Atlantis. Even though the Sheraton and neighbouring Wyndham are large hotels, the pool and beach never felt crowded.
I would definitely stay here again! |

Casuarinas Hotel, New Providence Island traveler review
I suggest you keep away. Visited: April 2007 |
| Posted by marcan |
 |
I was in this hotel with my two sons for a diving trip. I wanted a typical Bahamian resort - not a chain hotel or the like.
We stayed one night. We ran away after. They had old rooms that looked more like "Road 66" cheap motels.
Don't bother coming here. It will ruin your vacation. |

Five-star prices for a two-star resort. Visited: December 2007 |
| Posted by jp_canadian |
 |
This resort was way over priced.
THE GOOD - The weather, beach, and suite were all nice. I enjoyed the free alcohol, but the wine wasn't great.
THE BAD - Our VIP pick up at the airport was half an hour late. I thought "VIP" meant that they were waiting for you - not the other way around. Our return to airport was also late, and in a Town Car (not a Rolls or Mercedes).
The butler service was inconsistent (ie. never managed to get breakfast to us on time or with our order; always put towels at the pool, even though we asked for the beach; took them three days to get us a fruit plate).
The gym was small, cramped and had no cleaning supplies for equipment. Overall, the property looked tired and needed paint.
In addition, we ordered tea at the tea room, but it never arrived. Even pick up of our luggage was 45 minutes late from the agreed upon time of departure.
THE UGLY - For what we paid (over $1000/day), we expected gourmet food. It was virtually inedible. The Italian restauarant reminded us of a cafeteria, "romantic" Gordon's on the Pier had five-day-old fish (even the fish was not fresh), and steak at the Pub was shoe leather. Coffee tasted like dirty dish water, but there was a good Starbucks down the beach.
I only wish that I had read reviews before booking! We would have gone elsewhere. |

It took a day for us to get our room - what a hassle! Visited: December 2007 |
| Posted by jkshipp@yahoo_com |
 |
Okay, I'll admit I had a great time - that is after we finally got our room!
We arrived on Tuesday - Christmas day. We were taken into the little lobby where they tell you how wonderful it is to have you as guest. Then, they gave us drinks, and blah, blah, blah. We wandered around the place until three, and then they informed us that our rooms were not ready, so they upgraded us into a butler's suite for that night.
The next day, we had to leave that room, and for the next four hours we had no room. We also had no idea where our luggage was. My wife and I finally turned into a couple of jerks and demanded a room. I hated to do it, but it was getting ridicuous. We lost almost the whole day of our vacation because of the room ordeal.
We then met other people who were also mad because they had the same thing happen to them. Sandals is a great deal, and we always have a good time, but this overbooking has to be addressed. That is not a small issue, it is a large one.
I had a great time, and we will go back, but I will always be a little wary from here on. By the way, my wife and I are the kind of people who never complain, but this time we had to. I actually felt bad about it, but after a day of roaming around with no room something had to be done. |

Guanahani Village, New Providence Island traveler review
I encountered problems here. Visited: November 2007 |
| Posted by todd |
 |
My stay was from November 9-16, 2007.
My room had a leak from the ceiling, leaving water on the floor. The staff's solution was to put a towel on the floor and left a mop for me to wipe it up.
In the meantime, I had slipped on the floor pulling the hamstring in my leg. There was no satisfactory compensation for any of this.
This was certainly not what I would expect from this type of resort. |

I had an excellent experience at Sandals. Visited: October 2007 |
| Posted by gemini134 |

This was a first time visit a "resort" style hotel. This was a great experience!
Don't be too picky, and you will have a wonderful time! The grounds are gorgeous (five stars), the food is good (three stars), the service is excellent (four stars - the grumpy ones really stand out here because overall the service is excellent).
The room, a basic "deluxe" - was clean, large and comfortable (three stars - mildew on grout in tub and dirty corners in the bathroom, bed was very comfortable).
It really is all-inclusive, you will not need to touch your wallet. We went scuba diving with the resort, and it was a good experience It's also included in the price if you are certified!
This is a wonderfully romantic experience, and I would certainly recommend it.
A little piece of advice - make your reservations immediately, bug spray for the Cay is essential, and the beach in the evening is overrun with folks selling their "wares".

Breezes Bahamas, New Providence Island traveler review
It was a nice trip, but a cold pool. Visited: December 2006 |
| Posted by natalinadc |
 |
Our trip, all in all, was good. The food was good, and the staff was friendly.
However, the water in the pool was freezing. It must have been in the low 70°f. The ocean was blue, but had lots of seaweed, so there were parts of it that looked dark and muggy.
We enjoyed our stay. We went to swim with the dolphins, which was a short boat ride away. It was totally worth it!
I think if you are looking for nice place at a reasonable price, you will enjoy this hotel. Here, you also have rock climbing, kayaking, trapeze and much more included in the stay.
Have fun! |

Major renovations are needed here. Visited: August 2007 |

I actually checked in and out the same evening. The hotel was in need of major renovations, and a security update.
I was given the key for a room already occupied, and the next room I was given was covered in dust. It was ddisgusting! |

Quality Inn Nassau, New Providence Island traveler review
It's nice for the busy traveler. Visited: February 2006 |
| Posted by dandiggler |

I'll admit, I'm not big on the all-inclusive resort. I like easy and convenient, since I like to explore my surroundings more so than staying in my room the whole trip.
This hotel was ideal. It was close to everything, right across the street from the beach, and was very affordable. I'm going again this fall, and will likely be staying here again. |

This was the worst hotel ever. Visited: July 2007 |
| Posted by brooklincutie |

Before I offer details about the hotel, I want to note that our negative experience was shared by other guests in the hotel. We met three other couples/groups who were very unhappy with their stay. This hotel seems to be a joke on the island. When we told cab drivers and locals where we were staying, they all laughed or expressed sympathy! That is unacceptable!
My fiancé and I recently took a trip to the Bahamas and made the unfortunate mistake of staying at the Nassau Palm Resort. To say that it was a resort is a big joke.
Upon entry to the hotel, I was shocked. It looked nothing like the pictures on the web sites. The pool was filthy. We literally could not see the bottom for the first few days.
The first room we were assigned to was disgusting. There were stains everywhere on the carpet. It looked like a map of the Bahamas was urinated into the carpet and allowed to dry - seriously.
The bathroom was no better. There were used bottle caps on the floor, and it looked like it needed a good sweeping. Most shocking were the notices that the hotel posted about safety - basically warning us to lock the door lock, bar lock, safety lock, chain lock and lock box. Not a good sign.
When we complained to our travel agency, we were told that there were no available hotels for certain days of our trip and we were forced to stay at the Nassau Palm. The hotel agreed to change our room. They switched our room to one that was only better because it was larger.
The service was appalling. We had to call every day for new towels. The only thing the maids did was make up the bed. There was no bathroom service. The water in the shower was never hot… not even warm. also, we had a power outage - and yet we were charged about $9 per person per day for energy and maid service!
Do not stay at this hotel. Do not waste your money. The truth is, if you want a hotel that is decent, this one doesn’t even come close. It will ruin your time on the island. |

We encountered watered down beer and dirty glasses here. Visited: May 2007 |

The beer served here was Kalik in a can. It tasted like watered down Bud Light. Also, they didn't wash their glasses - they just dipped them in ice water! I suggest you ask for plastic cup! |

This Sandals was not quite all-inclusive. Visited: May 2007 |
| Posted by cm |

We stayed at this resort for our anniversary. This was the fourth Sandals resort we have stayed at. We have stayed at the Grande St. Lucian (loved it, and would go again); Montego Bay (absolutely hated it, transfered); and Negril (was okay, but wouldn't go again).
We picked the Bahamian because it had shortest flight and drive time. We bought the butler service. Our car was not there when we landed, and we had to wait. The Roles Royce was very old and dirty. My personal vehicle is nicer, and a US taxi would probably be nicer.
The rooms were old (we expect when you pay that much money for a room, to have separate tub and shower at least). The resort, in general, needs to be upgraded/refurbished.
I also found it personally insulting that, upon arrival, I was given a letter encouraging us to tip our butlers. The main reason we booked all-inclusive was so that we did not have to worry about tipping. It took away some of the enjoyment of having a butler because we had to wonder if they were expecting a tip for every little thing they did.
I did like having the butler service, though. I just was not expecting - nor did I want - to be asked to tip them. In my opinion, the price of purchasing butler service was pricy enough to include tips!
I also found it very annoying to be presented with a wine list at every meal that was available for purchase. Again, we purchased all-inclusive! I don't want to pay more money for wine. It would be fine to have an upgraded wine list, but leave it as something that could be requested, not something pushed on you at every meal.
At that point it just seemed like Sandals was trying to squeeze every penny they could out of us. We had already paid approximately $6,000. After that much money, I didn't want to pay more for tips or wine.
We did really like the off-shore island. It was beautiful, and the water at the resort was the prettiest I have seen at any of the resorts.
The food and setting at Gordon's restaurant was very nice - as was the food at the French restaurant (the sea bass was great!).
However, the bar service was absolutely terrible. Bartenders ignored us, and made us wait for no apparent reason. The drinks were terrible, too. For the price, I would expect frozen drinks to be made from fresh fruit. However, they were made with mixes.
Plus, I asked a bartender for a Mojito, and he just told me "this is not the states" and walked off! Again - for the price we paid, I would expect the resort to serve drinks such a Mojito - which is very common drink.
Your choices of frozen drinks were basically strawberry daiquiri, pina colada or a mudslide (and not very good ones at that!). Be prepared to wait a long time to get a drink, and expect very rude bartenders.
Enjoy the beautiful water if you go, though. It was quite breathtaking. |

Breezes Bahamas, New Providence Island traveler review
I will not return. Visited: May 2007 |
| Posted by eyian1j |

I understand that this place is to be torn down in the near future. All I can say about that is - "good riddance".
When my wife and I checked in, we found our bathroom had not been cleaned well at all. There were hairs on the sink and counter, smears on the mirror, and dingy towels.
When I went to bed the first night, I had to brush sand off the sheets. Our bathroom leaked from the ceiling. We were finally moved to another room.
The quality of the rooms left much to be desired. The front desk service was uneven at best. I will say that the other staff (waiters, bartenders, entertainers, etc) were very accommodating.
I would not return to this place! |

I just came back from my second stay at Breezes (first was in December 6 to Jan 7). While my first room (Garden view) was not quite up to par, the second (Ocean view) was great.
I loved the staff. They were hardworking and friendly. The entertainment was great - especially Funky D and the Summer Breeze Band. However, if you are over 30, you probably want to skip the disco! |

The hotel is geared toward spring breakers who are looking for free drinks, and don't care what their rooms look like.
The rooms were dirty and run down. After cleaning our room, they forgot to give us towels, and it took three phone calls and two hours to get them.
I was not impressed at all. The food was so-so, and the staff was rude. |
